Please DU this carTOONist poll

I take it personally when good cartoons are voted down...

Go here:
http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/shared-blogs/ajc/luckovich/index.html

Third cartoon down looks like this:

61% of people voted they didn't like this? This cartoon says it all! Pointing and giggling at the emperor who has no clothes... :rofl:

Vote YES!!

16. Mike Luckovich cartoons are some of the best

I have this book, called "Take Them At Their Words: Shocking, Amusing and Baffling Quotations from the GOP and Their Friends" which has all the nasty things the GOP and conservatives have said over the past decade, and Luckovich's cartoons are featured throughout the book, and I have to say as a fan of political cartoons,his cartoons are some of the best and funniest ones out there. And ones featured in the book are pretty funny, and speak the truth, when painting conservatives as the jerks they are.

6. I get this from the Research Form

"Kick - The practice of replying to a thread to keep it current in the hierarchy without adding significant comment. The word "kick" is often in the subject or message body. Also often used is the term bump."

Please sir, no more naked pictures of Bush so early in the morning. Couldn’t you just put him back in his flight suit?

10. Vote again in an hour

You can vote only once an hour, but you can vote once every hour. I especially like the last one, about Pat Robertson. I wanted to post it here a few days ago when I first saw it, but I didn't know how.

To Mike Luckovich:yourock:

11. I'm from Atlanta

and love Luckovich. I regularly send him fan mail. He and Jay Bookman are the shining lights of this newspaper. Remember, folks, Atlanta is not Georgia. Inside the city, our knuckles clear the ground and we almost never pick our noses in public. :P
